[putasydrogas]

Fuck the audience!!!

[Dragonion2010]

So this is what 3:03 minutes of constant goosebumps feels like ...

[masteArthur1999]

i dont even know what say,

great song

[LMTR14]

ayreon played live?!?!?!! holy shit

[hellion690]

It's originally a son from Ayreon's Into the electric castle. This is from the Live on earth DVD if I'm not mistaking.

[19XWyomingGrizFan]

Isn't this really "Star One?"

[lordmiklaus]

Real music damn REAL music, keep up the good work Arjen! Thanks for posting CatSlayer !!!

[foreverjoyfull]

oh my god, Floor THE GODDESS

[EatYourVegs]

What about Queen - Lily of the Valley?

[missheavymetal1]

Floor Jansen has the voice of an angel. Anybody who cannot see and hear beauty in this amazing song does not understand the power of music.

[BruceinFalkirk]

This is a work of genius. Is this from a DVD?

[JetsamFlot]

@BruceinFalkirk Yes, it's from the DVD Live on Earth by Star One. Most of the other songs from the DVD are here on Youtube.

[FairyAlexandra1]

[daliaguitar]

[MPierrot666]

this live performance is Star One, not Ayreon (only the song is from ayreon)

[LizzyGillan]

MOOI !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[19XWyomingGrizFan]

Nor is it really technically Ayeron, right? If it is Star One, which it is.

[PeteTzah]

Perfect vocals i felt like I was in middle earth for a bit there.

[freakander]

Pani Polaczka obsługuje flecik.:)

[powermetalfreak81]

What a nice voice . It brings me to tears

[TheSpiritualhealing]

@powermetalfreak81 ....it's FLOOR JANSSEN from AFTHER FOREVER! a dutch gothic metal band. and yesssssss she is great!!

[StormColdSoul]

Awesome, I'll cover this song :)

[Drekdwerg]

Kippenvel Damn wat mooi is dit!!!

[Everaftermty]

What's that fluthe name? and great music btw, check out our profile and tell uswhat you think.

Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.

Keep the good metal alive.

[SergeyRocks]

@Everaftermty Her name is Ewa Albering. She was the flutist of the Polish progband Quidam.

[krisdaschwab912]

@SergeyRocks Quidam? Goddammit, Arjen, it's like he's reading my mind when he gets people for albums and projects.

[Warthogfan]

The voice of a goddess

[crazyazie]

That's just beautiful. First time I've heard them.

[kolsyrade]

great song, and this is the best version of it that I have heard!

Beautiful!

[ibaksoy]

Awesome!!!

[maitresselyd]

Ce que je pense c'est plutôt à la chance qu'à Arjen Anthony Lucassen de faire chanter les trois plus intéressantes chanteuses (Floor, Marcella et Anneke), si l'on excepte Simone qui semble ne pas l'avoir interprété. Quand en France on aura la chance d'avoir de telles femmes.

[adixczz]

pretty good, but Anneke version is the best one

[OraclesOath]

i just love this track.

[Jophelerx]

Floor Jansen and Anneke van Giersbergen have both sung the same song. I can now die happy.

[tomsor15]

Beautiful ;-(

[GunslingerUK]

would i be called sad to say this song brings me to tears with the sheer truth? i went to eygpt and learned the history from the tour guide and listened to this song and i understood this due to the queen of eygpt was a women who start the valley of the queens who lost her love and went there to die. sad but true

[NobIeSavage]

@GunslingerUK - Valley of the Queens is where the wives of Pharaohs would be buried.

[ThePiratephil]

@NobIeSavage HORRAY someone besides me actually knows that many seem to have the impression that whyen the pharaoh died they were put into his casket with him. alive or dead.... lol

[BondBritney]

I love Floor's voice! And this song is beautiful

[lnrds]

i just had an eargasm after listening to this.

[JakJoProduction]

Even better live, waw !

[LizzieLoves2Rock]

WOW!! One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to !!!

[swatdaman]

This is pretty good music. WHO AM I KIDDING?! THIS MUSIC IS AWESOME!@!

[freitasnetuno]

whos singing along with Jansen?

[lobaum17]

@freitasnetuno Her sister, Irene Jansen

[fuckmail2]

floor jansen lost herself.. what a pity:(

[jp0005jp]

@fuckmail2 what do you mean by that?

[InfinityDz]

I'd really love to hear an Ayreon song including Maynard Keenan from Tool/A Perfect Circle *_*

[CreatureofMasquerade]

@InfinityDz now you had an AWESOME idea.

[Xonedos]

Floor never ceases to surprise me. She does a wonderful job on this song.

[MarioLaClop]

arjen is a god

[0Akeldama0]

so shes dying right?

[AlcoholRabbit]

@0Akeldama0

Yes. If I remember right she has grown tired of the quest within the castle and leaves the others (Each song is connected to a character(s) If I'm not mistaken and their journey) and goes to the Valley of the Queens to die.

If you'dl ike to read more you can check out the Electric Castle on Wikipedia. Interesting stuff, and wonderfull music.

[MishaMiou]

@0Akeldama0 no, she's saying a text in a story (like a character in a movie xD)

[YourRisingPhoenix]

beautiful

[ailwon66]

whatever, this is another great song from Ayreon!!!

[altarman]

Floor,je bent de beste!!

[firesign72]

she doesn't have what this song needs... but she's still a good singer.

[officialmaxguzzo]

wooow amazing!!!

[maulsoleu]

Arjen is too much tall...it´s like a mutant or made in outer space...

[FlowerFlo1983]

rofl! he's a charismatic guy and always funny too, so please don't mock him :)

[InfinityDz]

@maulsoleu I've nothing to say about him being tall, but what's with that weird dance! XD

I'm not making fun, it's just that the only thing I could focus on was him XD

[Gorotth]

ale no tak floor jensen je sexy zenska s krasnym hlaskom

[humac09]

presne tak :P

[charger7745]

BEAUTIFUL SONG

[Tinkerselle]

If someone knows the name of the singer please let me know, I think this is the girl that sings in the song "Love" of The Human Equation but I'm not sure! Si alguien sabe el nombre de la cantante por favor dejenme saber, creo que es la que canta en la cancion Love de The Human Equation, pero no estoy segura!

[Bareideru]

This is a Star One live version, with Floor Jansen on the vocals and her sister Irene on the backing vocals. The Ayreon studio version is sung by Anneke van Giersbergen.

[NeoJoan]

No, la que canta en love es su hermana, Irene Jansen. Aunque en realidad sus voces son muy similares! La diferencia es que Floor tambien canta lírico! HAIL FLOOR!

[nimettka]

To je šeredná zpěvačka, ty pracky jak chlap... =-O

[Bronxino]

Naprosto špatná odpověď, mě se naopak moc líbí... :)

[nimettka]

Tak se stav u nás na očním, máme moc dobré doktory.

[Bronxino]

Já mám očka jak kočka, je to záležitost vkusu, hold barbie girls mě prostě nebaví. Naopak - tohle je moc pěknej kus ženské. :)

[nimettka]

Barbínky nesnáším... A očka jako kočka, to máš docela malinký a záludný co?

[Giby86]

*Splendid*.

[drywind74]

Un regalo para mis oidos.

Perfecta armonias vocales.

Floor e Irene Jensen UNAS GRANDISIMAS VOCALISTAS.

[Bronxino]

I dont have a words... 6/5*

[Dracky1234]

Damn I was there and it was so fcking awesome! The one singing there was Floor jansen with Irene Jansen on the background!

Great song!

[RomanianDanIrukandji]

She has nice arms. Also, great song. I need to check out more live Ayreon.

[Sonorensee]

Muchooo mejor que Anneke

[antoniohauaji]

I prefer Anneke van Giesbergen singing

[TheOvermaster]

It's basically the same version - I don't prefer either - they both sound pretty much exactly the same.

[Emanusmell]

its nice to hear it live

[lougriii]

this is just the singer of after forever , floor jansen , but a lot of singer of ayreon has also sing this song

[Scarnivore]

so... wheres Astrid, huh?

[Motosuna1982]

man, i really need to start listenin' to more of this kinda stuff..much easier on the ears, instead of the arg-arg-arg!!! lmao. :P

[waynitag]

Is she Sharon Den Adel? Cos' doesnt sound like her...

[alcx112]

No. She is Floor Jansen

[schizoidcarmesi]

beautiful song!!

[lachikadenegro]

omg Floor Jansen i <3 u!!!

[jirihozpodebrad23]

...lucky ones who ever got to see this all live... *envy*... :)

[PaulaPOS]

i really love Floor but...this song didn't work for her

[Meriliniel]

imo, it did

[waynitag]

Yes! If you compare with the melodic and beatiful voice from Sharon Den Adel....I don't know I really prefer Sharon's voice

[Jacobruxo]

fantastico! até arrepia de tão bonito...

[eeiness]

This is one bad sh....

[Roos112]

where is Anneke!!??

[gjelmgoe]

ruhig jetzt! alles ist gesagt.

[buracodisanca]

mystic...

[gerymylove]

I never liked female singers with high voices (although I admired their skills, of course), but somehow Arjen has a talent to collect women that I really love... no matter if it is Floor or Irene Jansen, Anekke van Giesbergen, Marcela Bovio or Simone Simons, somehow I like them all... and although I love Anekke´s voice, Floor is singing this song amazing, too!

[vearheart42]

You forgot Heather Findaly. . .

She was so good in The Human Equation.

[gerymylove]

you´re right, she was amazing! I just didn´t mention her because her voice isn´t that high, you know? So it was instantly clear to me that i would like her ^.~

[UuRrIiAaSs]

Floor Jansen is the best!!!

[lacrimanigra666]

beautiful, it's a shame that i never heard of them before.... remembers me of the very old nightwish :)

[PkCynthialover]

Yea this song has Nightwish elements... you sould get Into the Electronic Castle...amzing album. Tied with Oceanborn by Nighwish for my fourth favorite album of all times.

[Axilus]

Dont be noob!

[gazuul]

I'ts not a them at all..... Is one person behind it all - research it pleas e.) Arjun Lucassen is awesome.

[mickMooW]

So beautiful.. I just can cry when I hear the song.

[rockbabe194]

Kippenvel

[ahigherstate]

I love dream theater and nightwish. Ayreon is a very interesting interesting combination of them. I love it!

[eydos]

Most remarcable song.

[buscobanda]

I just love Arjen, one of the best composers i've ever heard

[Perdeler85]

More informations about this dvd are on Wikipedia under the name Star One

[Nigelene]

This is cool too but for some reason (Marcella Bovio?lol) I prefer the Stream Of Passion version ;-)

Greetz: Nigelene -xXx-

PS: so they play songs that were originally Ayreon songs? Oooh,ok,I was thinking 'huh?that two bands?' lol! Anyway, THEY ALL ROCK!!:-D

[TheThanimal]

just an amazing song and even more amazing live. I love the way that played it. I got this DVD for xmas it's a great buy if anyone is interested.

[Juamops]

Goosebumps..

[ginavalo1]

Absolutely beautiful , but it got to be if Floor is singing...

[doshidohkosan]

irmãs jansen se uma jansen só já é boa, imagina as duassss *-*

[crimolvic2]

0:47 what can I say, there she's singing with the heart. That's passion.

1:27 the story repeats.

Great song. This version is much better than the album's

Grüße

[xxUltraFreakxx]

Makes me wanna cry when I hear such beauty.

[jungelkaka]

A fantastic video, where did you find it? Are that any DVD I can bourt of Ayreon or something like that?

Let me know if you know something, please!

[sparak1]

It's from Star One's DVD "Live on Earth".

[jungelkaka]

Thanks a lot! :)

I must bourth is in some way!! *must have*

[TheThanimal]

this is a dvd of Stream of Passion. it's a side band of lucassen. they play some ayreon songs on they're tours. I have this DVD it's call Stream of Passion Live in the Real World

[Perdeler85]

Sorry but this is not the dvd "Stream of Passion Live in the Real World" but the one of the "Star One" project of Arjen. This video is from the dvd "Star One Live on Earth". Otherwise would Floor Jansen not be on the video (the Stream of Passion version features Marcela Bovio with her sister). - - - - Floor you're my favourite :)

[jibber102]

Isn't Arjen like 6'7"? And Floor is like only a bit shorter than him....dang, how tall is she?

[rotutube]

She can rival with most of the men in holland and we are tall!

[Jordenkl]

put day 19

[Astraknight]

Arjen dancing kind of ruins the mood.

[Scott1305]

Floor is a GODDESS!!!

[TheQueenWalls]

floor jansen is amazing

[Aaren92]

i love this song and floor is great but i prefer the version with anneke! xd

[silvarastarbreeze]

I love this version, and the version with Anekke.. :D

[ThrorinII]

can someone tell me the name of the singer? his voice hypnoticed me and i start to listen the song over and over on and on and on

[metaladdict24]

floor jansen from the band after forever

[jiSh]

Absolutely epic.

[hcyjtd4x]

This is great... I love floor jansen!!=)

[ggtach]

What the hell is this? Abba reincarnate? Arjen Lucassen, you are a cheesy fucking bastard. You don't deserve to have Devin Townsend and Mikael Akerfedt singing on your badly themed and cliche sounding albums.

[Skriek]

=O

Have you actually heard other Ayreon songs than this one?

[ggtach]

Actually yes, I own two albums. I'm just bitching, giving him shit. He knows how to write some pretty catchy epic music, but he's really good at being cheesy too, just look at the way he's dancing during this song. His methods are also easy to decipher and get way over used. I feel like writes the same song a lot, and every once in a while writes something great.

[tandersn9]

you don't deserve to leave comments on his videos...

[frehleyscomic]

What DVD is this on?

[Nonofthebelow]

Album: Into The Electric Castle.

[szatanesque666]

Star One Dvd

[eresseamiriel]

I think this is really amazing and beautiful

[pkeersmaekers]

This 'chick' is not just a chick but it's Floor from After Forever...

[Sproeikoei]

She's also a singer in Ayreon.

[Symphonion]

Arjen is a genius, and MAN she has a nice voice! Love this song :)

[phoenixbf]

yes.. sorry I mean Arjen Lucassen

[phoenixbf]

wonderful. and Ayreon is a genius.

[lucasguitarrist]

you mean Arjen right?

[5vincent56]

Arjen "Ayreon" Lucassen

[Adrianaloree]

beautiful....lol...

[victoriousmarch4]

for you mia san!!

[xhelloyouFREAK]

love

[genkideku]

i like the song, but sounds way better with anneke

[steveh88]

I LOVED Anneke's vesion, but I must admit this chick did a damn fine job with the song. She hit the same notes an used the same inflection almost the entire way through. But yes, Anneke was amazing on this song!!!

[LisyLunaria]

what kind of flute is the first one she uses in this song?

[lovemyw123300dt]

alto recorder is a good guess of mine

[mamlasu]

nono, it is tenor recorder... well, it is hard to guess how big it really is, but the tone is definitely tenor, in addition, alto recorder cannot play such deep tones.

[LisyLunaria]

Yes it's a tenor, I have just bought one, it has the same sound!

[pef08]

thanx, all ayreon lovers, so i am not alone..!

[Dervanon]

wow that is what i call a good live song!!!

[MarcBassoFilms]

this is actually a video from the Star One dvd. (one of his many side projects) so amazing

[TheSilentWolf]

I really can't get enough of Ayreon, I love his ideas and concepts. He truly is a master at his work!!!

[HammerOfPink]

Hard to believe that Ayreon is just that man to the right, and his ideas...

Arjen rules.

[tdreamer25]

maravilloso, ame la interpretacion de Floor

[Speed20001]

Is marvellous marvellous marvellous....

I can't avoid my eyes get wet each time I listen it.
